Some Minor Notes To Myself
So, spring break is a week away for me. And I have absolutely nothing planned. Not that I'm complaining, though. I need the work so I can get my savings account caught up on. It missed a good month of not having any money stored in it. There's a number of things I'm wanting to have and have done, especially on the Vixen. For one, I think she needs a new alternator because her electrical status is getting horrible right about now and I think that either her alternator is bad or there are some bad cables in her system. This paycheck I get come Thursday, I'll have her alternator looked at. Another thing is I need to have her engine belt replaced. It's looking pretty cracked and considering I'm driving on the highway to get to work now, I don't know how much longer it'll hold out. Next Thursday's check will cover that one.
I think once all those issues are resolved, I can start saving for myself again. When I got my tax return, I wanted to use some of it to get my PS3, but that deal fell short because I needed the money to help get the Vixen in better shape, and as far as I'm concerned, she comes first. Besides, the PS3 that I want to get (the 80GB with Motorstorm) is pretty much not available anywhere now, which upsets me because that's the one with backwards compatibility with PS2 and PS1 games. The only one I see in stores is the lame 40GB one with no backwards compatibility. But I hear tale from both GameSpot.com and IGN.com that there's going to be another 80GB bundle with Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriot and the DualShock 3 controller. So at least I know that that particular SKU is not going to be dead for good. I just hope they keep the PS2 software emulator in it because I'm really looking to get rid of my PS2 because it's starting to slowly but surely fail on me as of late. But from the look of both sites, I have until about June to hold on to my PS2. Hopefully it should still be alive by then. And I really think that if Sony wishes to keep even half of their fanbase (including myself) they wouldn't ax the PS2 emulator. Time will tell, though.
Well, just wanted to set these notes for myself. See you guys later. I must sleep now. I have to get up at 03:30
